In the tradition of the rollicking old-fashioned American musical comedy, here comes “Imported Bridegroom: The Musical.”

Set in Olde New York circa 1900, “Imported Bridegroom: The Musical” recounts the travails of an acquisitive landlord-father who comes to fear that his greedy practices will keep him out of heaven. He is so overcome with anxiety at his other-worldly fate that he feels compelled to return to the Old Country where, at his father’s gravesite, he pleads: “Papa, speak to the Almighty for me and ask Him please to wipe away just a few of my sins.” There, in his ancestral shtetl, he is informed of a shortcut to eternal residence in the better neighborhood of Heaven. He would need to sponsor a brilliant scholar of the Talmud. Finding what seems the perfect candidate, he brings his pious young discovery back to the lower East Side for his ambitious Americanized daughter to marry. After one look at the intense greenhorn scholar, she is appalled. He has nothing in common with the sort of respectable uptown Jewish doctor she has been planning to capture.
